New York Divorce Attorney, Flat Fee Versus By the Hour: Sanity Versus Insanity

Today’s attorney’s fees have become astronomical.  I recently read an article by a New York divorce lawyer who charges $700 per hour.  Given that the average contested divorce can take hundreds of hours, if you are in the market for a divorce and can do math your stomach probably just dropped.

$700 an hour is on the high side.  The average New York contested divorce attorney fee is approximately $250 an hour.  Again, hundreds of hours…  I wouldn’t want to be paying those fees.

Our New York Uncontested Divorce Attorney law firm offers affordable flat fee services for uncontested divorces.  There are no hidden fees.  No surprises.  You know what you are getting into up front.

I recently received an email from a woman stating that she had already spent $125,000 on her New York divorce and was wondering if I could represent her pro bono.  I wish I could have helped, but our law office only offers uncontested divorces.

Be smart.  If you and your spouse are considering divorce, be grownup about it (if you can, its definitely not always possible).  Try to reach an amicable agreement regarding the division of your assets and custody and support issues if you have children.  If you can you will save yourselves thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars on your divorce.

Our NY divorce law office offers free consultations.  Call toll-free (866) 830-2064 now to schedule your free consultation to learn how you too can save thousands of dollars on your divorce.
